COMMUNITY SPORTS LEADER AWARD (CSLA)

WHAT IS CSLA?
CSLA is a 1-year course, usually completed in your first year. It is aimed at developing your ability to lead sporting activities safely and effectively. On successful completion of the course you gain a nationally-recognised coaching award (British Sports Trust).

It is a practical course, with the emphasis on developing your leadership, communication and teamwork skills in a sporting environment (as well as having fun!). It is about participation not your sporting ability.

COURSE CONTENT?
You will have one lesson a week over the year. Initially this will be teacher lead covering the key aspects. It then becomes more student centred as you put your leadership skills into practice.

There are 8 core units which are shown below.

Course Units
  • Organisational skills
  • Safety in sport
  • Sport in the community
  • Fitness for sport
  • Leagues and competitions
  • Improvisation and activities
  • Games and activity experience
  • 10 hours voluntary Leadership work
As part of Unit 2 you will also complete an Emergency First Aid course

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED?
You are assessed in two ways:
  • You and a partner have to successfully run a lesson on a sporting activity of your choice
  • Complete 10 hours voluntary leadership. This could be at a local sports club, school or holiday club.
CSLA is a very popular course at PPC, usually with over 100 students following it each year. It is a good addition to a CV or university application, especially for those interested in a teaching or coaching career.
